The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 178

...

When Aaron received the call from the police, he had just finished a fight with Mia.

Mia had been terrified by the arson and had fallen ill shortly after returning home.

Lately, Leonard was busy with the Devereaux Group collaboration and was never home.

Mia's mother was busy hopping between major auction houses and attending various dinners, with no time for her daughter.

So, Mia had turned to Aaron.

When he was with Nora, Aaron was always the one being cared for. Suddenly having to look after Mia was a novelty at first.

Besides, a sick Mia had a certain fragile beauty, like Valerie, that made one want to protect her.

But Mia already had a spoiled brat attitude, and being sick and uncomfortable only made her more demanding.

Aaron quickly grew impatient.

Mia, however, was completely oblivious. Even though she was sick and couldn't go out, she insisted on having a date with Aaron.

She forced him to prepare a candlelight dinner at home.

Aaron ordered takeout to cut corners, but just when everything was ready, Mia started throwing another tantrum.

"What the hell do you want?"

Aaron rubbed his throbbing temples. He didn't want to completely burn bridges with Mia, but he couldn't suppress the anger welling up inside him, making his tone stiff and impatient. "It’s a cold, Mia, not a terminal illness. Can you stop being so high-maintenance? It's not like you were the only one who was scared that day. I was taken to the police station for questioning."

"Mia, I've been very patient with you lately. What more do you want?"

"I'm not your servant. I really can't be expected to coddle you, be your emotional support, and take care of your every need."

Mia's response to Aaron's words was to flip the table over.

"Aaron, what is that supposed to mean?"
